On February 8, Arianna Huffington joined Graham Moysey, Brad Cressman and Dana Toering in Montreal for the launch of Le Huffington Post Québec - the second Canadian edition- and second foreign language edition of the Huffington Post. Starting at 6am, Arianna had a whirlwind (and very long!) day of media interviews- 21 to be exact- including La Presse, Infopresse, Chatelaine Magazine, popular Montreal radio station CJAD and Radio-Canada's TV show 24 heures en 60 minutes with Anne-Marie Dussault, to name a few!

In the midst of the media tour, Arianna addressed a 500-person luncheon on behalf of the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations giving a speech on "How social media are transforming the world." A crowd pleaser to say the least: Arianna captured the audience with her humour, infallible insight to Québec's culture and identity, and sophisticated expression of the Huffington Post model.

When the business was done, the team celebrated the wildly successful launch with a cocktail party. Introduced by Le HuffPost Québec managing editor Patrick White, Arianna toasted clients including launch partner Bell and its media agency, Media Experts, and the AOL Canada and Le HuffPost Québec team including bloggers!
